It's official Parsers are illegal in FFXIV

[Musashidon]

This argument against add-ons has existed since they became commonplace in MMOs and always remains the most ignorant and desperate plea against them I've ever seen.

it's not at all a plea against them, i personally love the aoe warning. it lets me be lazy and not remember aoe's

i am not against add on's or parsers. but you can't openly state they aren't hand holding that's their job to hold your hand and make things easy.
